Mad radish is to die for !!!! This location gets very busy during the week around lunch so beware ! Also on Uber Eats usually with buy 1 get 1 for bowls ! Mad Cesar wrap is my favorite ! Soup is also very good read more

Basically like panera but downtown. Better stuff too. Sometimes in this City there's no where you can get a solid soup/sandwich combination past 8pm. But mad radish can help you with that read more

Servers were helpful. Food was fresh but almost all very dish was spicy which was a problem for some of my guests. Seating is on hard formed seats or benches Inside restaurant is light and airy but found it to be very noisy due to the number of patrons Overall an ok experience but probably won't go back. read more

This place is a great healthy option for lunch but it gets extremely busy. I walked by for lunch and it was packed so I came back a half hour later. There were still a lot of people there but the line wasn't bad so I got my meal to go. The Fajita Barbacoa was tasty and there were other options of the menu that looked good as well. I'd come back if I was in the area and needed a healthier meal option. read more

I had lunch at Mad Radish recently and the food was good, but I have to agree with Mary P. that the washrooms were filthy. There was urine all over the seat and on the floor. I had to use like half a roll of toilet paper to wipe up the pee on the seat and then make a toilet paper nest on the seat so I could sit down without feeling gross. And it's a huge disconnect too, because the place is brand spanking new and you would think everything would be clean. I went to the washroom at the end of my visit, after finishing my meal. Had I gone before ordering, I would have turned around and walked out. This place's saving grace is that the food was great. I had the "Dill with It" salad ($12) which had mixed greens, new potatoes, green beans, asparagus, tomatoes, sunflower seeds and a soft boiled egg. It's supposed to come with flax seeds, but I substituted that for puffed quinoa. I just realized on the menu it says it contains broccoli, but mine didn't have any for some reason. It was all tossed in a lemon and dill yogurt dressing. The salad was tasty and really filling. I had a Strawberry Lemonade ($2.75) as well. It was nice and refreshing. It wasn't too sour, nor too sweet. I saw actual strawberry seeds in it, so I'm glad that they use real strawberries and not artificial syrup. This restaurant is cashless. They only take credit cards and debit. Staff were nice. I love that their cutlery, bowls and cups are all compostable. I would have given this place 4 stars had it not been for the washroom situation. I thought maybe it was a one-off and they had a customer with really poor aim who apparently didn't even have time to lift up the seat (the washrooms are gender neutral. There is no way that someone who was actually sitting on the toilet could have made that kind of mess), but then I read Mary P.'s review and it looks like dirty washrooms is an on-going problem :( read more

Well done Yelp for the recommendation. One of us has severe restrictions, the other not so. The ginger chicken salad was fresh, crunchy and tasty. Actually the word "amazing" was used. I had the cauliflower butter curry. Tasty and filling. Stuff here might seem a little above the basic price but your soul will thank you for making all the right culinary, ecological and spiritual choices. read more

Mad Radish - Take a look at this ginger chicken salad - Salad Near Me - Ottawa, Ontario

Awesome salad place in downtown Ottawa! 3 locations in Ottawa and one in Toronto. You can have them make a custom salad in front of you or order a salad or warm meal from their menu. Prices are from 11,95$ to about 15$. They also have bread and sweets. The girl that served me was very kind. They might open locations in Montreal, Quebec! read more

Salads done right. I had the chicken heater (?) bowl and it was good! Not $15 good but good. Certainly stingy with the chicken. Could have used a few more solid strips in there. Friendly and fast service (I went at 2pm and it was dead quiet). Nice clean restaurant. I'm not rushing back but happy to have tried it. read more

This restaurant is conveniently located near Parliament Hill and very much reminds me of Freshii. With food, they have multiple bowls or salads that you can choose from. As well as a selection of soup! I got their child bowl which was delicious and my friend got their chicken salad bowl which looked great too! I'd highly recommend getting the soup. The bread though I'd recommend skipping because it was quite dry and hard. read more

For my last meal here, I decided to check out this popular bowl / salad spot in downtown Ottawa. I was excited to check out another salad / bowl place as I love food that is both delicious and healthy! Atmosphere: 4/5 Simple, bright, modern and a busy spot during the lunch hour! Luckily, there were still a number of seats so it was easy to have a quick and comfortable meal. It was nice to see how busy this place was, but the line also moved relatively quickly. I like that their bowls and cutlery are all compostable. Food: 4/5 I had the smoked salmon bowl which was good - good portion size and delicious; fresh and customizable with good variety of ingredients Service: 3.5/5 Busy but efficient; line moved quickly; pre-ordering also available Price: 2.5/5 Slightly overpriced in my opinion for the amt and type of ingredients but the food was good Overall: 3.5/5 It was nice to check out another convenient salad / bowl place here in Ottawa - good, creative and delicious combinations, which are also healthy...however the bowls are a bit overpriced in my opinion. Nevetheless, I would love to try some of their other bowls for lunch read more

Food - 4.5/5 Service - 3/5 Atmosphere - 3/5 Overall - 10.5 / 15 Having gone to Mad Radish a few more times as a sense check, I am re-iterating my previous rating of 3/5 stars for the following reasons. While the food here is good, the cost of the salads relative to nearby competitors is definitely on the higher end. While they do use good ingredients and the flavors are there, I find that I'm not health-conscious enough to shell out ~$20 per salad. I do find their ice cream to be quite good however. My typical go-to's for this place would be the warm chicken bowl or the red curry soba. They definitely got it right when it comes to that. Their other offerings like the mini-salads and pies are a bit too small to be really considered meals. They're more like snacks which makes their price points a bit hard to swallow; ironic given their size. read more

I would choose this option of healthy food over freshii anyday. Their menu is more innovative and the food just tastes better, while being just as healthy. Although I must say that the price is just as exasperating as freshii. The curry cauliflower didn't tasted like much when I tried it: it was quite bland. I always get the hot bowl chicken. This is a good option for lunch. read more

Bult my own salad- Added spicy chicken which is not exactly spicy but overall the salad tastes really good. Its absolutely fresh and they had a variety of options to choose from. Definitely recommend trying out when in Downtown. read more

Mad Radish - Salad Near Me - Ottawa, Ontario

We ordered mad radish through Uber eats for lunch. My coworkers and I ordered a variety of bowls. I got the butter curry cauliflower bowl and it was delicious. The curry was amazing. Other bowls that we tried were red curry soba, the greek salad, ceasar, hot chicken salads. We are all fans of the dressings. However, we ordered the greek salad with the addition of the falalel on the side. When we received the salad it was missing the chicken that was included in the salad. All in all good experience and would recommend others to try! read more

The "protein bowl" and salad focus has become increasingly popular, and The Mad Radish takes this to the next level with ethically-sourced animal proteins and several Vegan options. They also serve coconut-based soft serve ice cream, which is a great option if you're interested in Vegan or dairy-free options. We ordered the custom salad bowl, the fired up chicken bowl, rosemary bread, and soft serve ice cream. Everything was pretty tasty, but things get pricey if you want to add multiple protein sources. Portion sizes are decent here, so you shouldn't leave feeling hungry still. The chicken has a "stewed" quality; it's not your typical grilled/sliced serving. The bread was tasty, albeit a bit oily (it soaked through the take-out bag). I was pretty impressed with the soft serve; it did not melt quickly like so many do, especially on a muggy August day. That said, you can definitely taste the coconut, so if you're not a fan of coconut flavour, I don't recommend it. The only drawback we experienced here was order accuracy. I asked and then confirmed that the Fired of Chicken bowl contained NO quinoa, only to see the final product graced with an extra-large spoonful of the stuff...so the server had to re-make the bowl. Definitely something to watch for if you're taking it to go. They CAN provide gluten free options--just make sure you mention it before ordering. read more

Great salads -- the smoky caesar is unreal. Generous portion too, so the cost doesn't feel too crazy. I can't say I love any of their 3 standard beverages: way under-sweetened. I get that they are right and I am wrong and I'll thank them when I don't get diabetes at age 40.. but that's no good to me in the here and now. Recommend setting out a squeeze bottle of agave nectar as an option - if my experience is representative, I think they'll sell more drinks that way in the long-run. read more

Second visit to Mad Radish, and as with my first time, the food and decor did not disappoint. However, my mediocre rating is due to the fact that the washrooms are really dirty. I don't think they have been cleaned since my last visit two weeks ago: dirty floors, grunge on the air vent covers, hairs in the sink (seriously, like someone had trimmed their beard there ... disgusting). Last time, there was no toilet paper. Last night's service bordered on excessive. It is fine for staff to inquire once if everything is to your taste, but my guest and I were inundated with no fewer than six interruptions that were quite uncalled for. The restaurant was not busy or I would have concluded they wanted us to free up the table. If it would not have appeared rude, it did occur to me to suggest if they had nothing better to do they could go and clean the restroom and leave us to dine in peace. read more

This was my first time at mad radish, and though I had high hopes I was pretty let down with my meal. I order the ginger chicken salad which I was hoping would be tangy, flavourful and full of crunch. Unfortunately it was not any of that. It just tasted like lettuce and carrots tossed around with 2 or 3 pieces of chicken. For a 15$ salad I was expecting much more!! My suggestions: add more zest, more ginger and don't be cheap with the chicken!!! I would also use whole or halved cashes instead of small cashew pieces because you don't really get the taste or crunch with all the mixed salad in there. I would think about adding crispy noodles to this one, similar to the tortilla that the Mexican chicken option has. read more

Came here for the first time and ordered the Tangine Dream. Pros: Despite it being the lunch rush, the line moved quickly and service was rapid and efficient. The employees were friendly and the prep counter was clean. The salad was fresh and filling, and the price was fair for the amount and quality of food. Cons: I found a slightly rotten cauliflower floret in my salad. It put a damper on my experience but it won't prevent me from going back. All in all, I enjoyed my meal. read more

I love the food,everything is fresh and the menu is not your typical boring salad, but adventurous and exiting. I love to try new combinations of veggies fruits and grains ..so far I have tried the fired up chicken, tagine dream (my favorite so far) , smoky Cesar and salmon kimchi, everything is delicious and satisfying Service is outstanding, staff will guide you if you have any preference or allergies, also is pretty quick ... Ps... try their drinks.. so refreshing for a hot summer walk around downtown read more

Disapointed the Ancho Lime dressing has been discontinued. It made my custom vegan salad amazing.

Absolutely awesome bowl, salad and smoothie place! I was visiting Canada from the States for a conference and I stopped by Mad Radish a few times! This is a great place for a quick and healthy lunch or dinner. I have to admit that I got the same thing pretty much every time I came in, which was the Gorgeous Greek salad, but every salad on the menu looked tasty. The ingredients in the salad were very fresh, flavorful and unique. One of my favorite ingredients was the pickled radishes. The salad was a pretty big portion as well so I felt full after each meal. They also have a variety of drinks and sides to choose from. I tried the olive focaccia as a side which I would recommend. It had a nice chewy crust with a soft center and was seasoned well. read more

Fresh creative combinations. First time visit take time to read the menu on the wall. Staff are helpful and efficient. Like the clean spacious space! Drinks and desserts made fresh everyday and such a nice change from the standard soda fountain offering. Portions are very generous. Will definitely be back for more! read more

I came around 5pm and there's only a couple of customers. I was greeted by a friendly staff while she was making a salad bowl for a customer before me. I ordered Fired Up Chicken bowl and it's delicious! All the ingredients are served fresh and the taste is not bland at all. I would come back again. Thumbs up! read more

If you're searching for a fast and healthy lunch in the CBD of Ottawa, look no further! I'm bummed that I cannot have this in my rotation (I was visiting for work), this place is amazing. They've got a huge selection of delicious and inventive salads that are anything but your typical caesar or cobb. I sampled one of the seasonal summer salads with peaches, beets and goat cheese and also tried the peach smoothie, it was delicious. A friend shared some of the freshly baked bread, and it was delightful. Prices are fair, the line moves fast, the food will keep you full and satisfied. read more

Just went here a couple of days ago. I had the coconut curry chowder which was very good! And filling. The soup and bread combo is also a very good deal. Restaurant was clean and staff was good and fast. Seating can be hard to find at lunch time read more

Love going here for lunch! The food is all really fresh and delicious and I love how all of their packaging and cutlery is compostable. However, the price is a bit expensive if you were to come here daily. read more

Went here for a late lunch and I was really pleased with my experience. The salad portions were big enough for a big lunch or two meals, the staff was really friendly and helpful, and the food was really good. I also loved seeing which items were vegetarian and vegan on the menus. I just wish you didn't have to pay extra for bread but I'll definitely go back and try the other bowls and soft serve. read more

Such a cute place!! Got the coconut soft serve with the vegan brownie. Both delicious, and barely differentiable from non vegan counterparts. The soft serve was really creamy/silky and didn't melt quickly, even in 30+ degree weather. The meals looked amazing - lots of variety, fresh and healthy ingredients. Hope to come back for a meal in the future... but lowkey wish there was a Mad Radish in Calgary! read more

I went with my children on Sunday afternoon after a weekend of eating unhealthy food, and this was the answer. We had the red curry soba bowl, a smokey mushroom caesar, a warm chicken bowl, and they were all great. As a bonus, we felt as if we had a nutritious meal. It is a little annoying that they don't take cash, but I'm sure they are used to that criticism. Big widow walls and clean bathrooms to boot. We will go back, the next time we are in the nation's capital. They are opening one up in Toronto this fall: good news for the city that really runs the country. read more

The salads are amazing, well-portioned and well-priced. As the restaurant is quite new, they haven't yet figured out all the kinks with their pick-up service, so expect to wait a little while for your food if you order ahead of time. read more

Amazing delicious salad combos I would never dream of, super fresh ingredients and big bonus.. gender neutral washrooms!! I wish there were more locations. That's the only drawback. read more

I had the Power Bowl, can't say I'm a fan of the Protein Patties... But overall the rest of the bowl was good. Would go back, the place had a very nice atmosphere and good service. I would just have to adjust my order accordingly next time! Points for the vegan options!! read more

Super nice place. I am vegan and this place makes very good vegan options, not some option just to make sure they can tell it's vegan, real good vegan options. I took the vegan Caesar salad with olive bread. It was delicious. The bread taste like heaven, at 1,75$ it's a gift they do! The staff was very sweet and kind, genuinely happy to serve me. Next time to Ottawa I will make sure to try the coconut ice cream, the opening season is starting tomorrow apparently! read more

I had the Falafel salad and while the ingredients are fresh, the falafel patties are tough and dry. A little disappointing.
